An innovative and flexible design, tailored to your needs.

The Global MBA+ benefits from an innovative and flexible format, designed to suit our students’ professional and personal goals by combining face-to-face learning with interactive online periods. Students do not have to sacrifice any work commitments yet can enjoy access to an international network of coursemates following the program from different locations around the globe. This format truly reflects the working practices of the world we live in today, and helps everybody to remain connected without actually having to relocate. The program is divided into two parts: Core Period and Module.

CORE PERIOD:

The Core Period covers all the fundamental areas of business and boosts the management skills of our students. Learning is complemented with a global outlook that allows our students to make the transition to executive management positions. The Core Period comprises about 2/3 of the total program. It kicks off with a week-long pre-program following with a week in Madrid and continues via the IE Online Campus.

SPECIALIZATION:

The Module applies your knowledge acquired during the Core Period to your area of interest, reinforcing it with more specific content and helping students gain access to a network centered on their area of interest. You may choose 1of our offered Modules; changing the program format and language of instruction if you wish. The final module comprises about 1/3 of the total program.

  • Choose your language of study for the Core Period (English or Spanish).
